alright fellas, she’s finally done. After a lot of whining, tinkering, repairs, cursing (under breath), and frustration I finally got through this build. Nothing about the sewing was very difficult. Having the right machine to do the job makes all the difference.

big thanks to @jhunter13 for answering at least 50 questions I had. Also thanks to @Treehopper2 @JCLINE84 @Razorbak66 and everyone else that pitched in to give a thumbs up, point me in the right direction, or just leave some words of encouragement. The biggest thing to this saddle making thing is patience.

I’m not pleased with a number of things on this build but she’ll still hunt and she won’t be my last!
